I know some of you have been rather disappointed that the site has not been updated in a while and I apologize for that. It seems like life has a tendency to throw the best laid plans right in the trash on occasion and I am afraid that was what happened to MaximumG.com.
Fear NOT loyal reader . . . if there are any of you left. MAXIMUMG.com has not died and while it still may undergo some fairly serious modifications it is going to stick around for a while.
Thank you
Istructional Review: Grappling Drills
You’ll be several more reviews of Stephan Kesting’s products coming to MaximumG.com very soon. Too many grappling products over promise and under deliver. With Kesting’s products you get what you pay for.
This review will be relatively short because the content of this DVD is exactly what the title promises . . . grappling drills.
MMA Scoring Guidelines
The biggest problem with scoring in MMA is not the nearly universal use of the 10-point must system. There are really only two MAJOR problems: #1 Officials who either refuse to use an MMA focused standard or are completely ignorant that there is a standard #2 Officials who have no more experience with the base arts of MMA than the average guy you pass on your drive to work.
Fighters need to train, and so do judges. Simply showing up just isn't good enough. Judges, and other officials, need to train.
Istructional Review: High PErcentage Side Control atacks
High Percentage Side Control Attacks is a no-gi instructional that examines a series of side control techniques, one series by each featured instructor, which are linked together and designed to give the student a side control “game”. The techniques are solid, the transitions are awesome, and the overall result will give the beginner to intermediate student a solid foundation to develop their side-control game while providing the more advanced practitioner a few nuggets to add to their own arsenal.
Your Best Jiu-Jitsu
Jiu-Jitsu is not a paint by numbers martial art and you can't learn Jiu-Jitsu through a mail order course. Jiu-Jitsu is a skill focused system of fighting not a technique focused martial art.
Instructional Review -- Closed Guard Attacks
The Closed Guard Attacks DVD features Luiz Palhares, a 6th degree black belt under Rickson Gracie. Mr. Palhares started training in 1976 with Rolls Gracie and has been a student of Rickson's since 1982. He has an incredible reputation as an instructor and his depth of knowledge seems formidable
